Raven Skyriver started blowing glass at the age of sixteen. He learned sculptural glass by working on William Morris’ team for seven years. His depiction of marine life is inspired by his upbringing on the San Juan Islands and informed by the creatures that inhabit this fragile ecosystem. Skyriver was the recipient of both the People’s Choice and Artists’ Choice awards at the Museum’s 2012 Red Hot Party & Auction, earning him these two week-long hot shop residencies.
